TraumaResolution

Somatic
Experiencing

Transform trauma into empowerment and healing
on all levels using a powerful new approach called Somatic
Trauma Resolution, based in part
on Somatic Experiencing. Trauma is defined as anything that is overwhelming to
the nervous system of an individual, so it may include birth, drugs, surgery, accidents and injuries, emotional
or physical shock, abuse, or even discouraging messages about ourselves. STR is an effective way to prevent chronic
problems from developing, or to release causes once illness has set in. A few STR sessions after an accident can
save years of psychotherapy, chiropractic, and drugs. You don t have to wait until Post-Traumatic Symptom Disorder
(PTSD)
has set in. Basic STR skills, such as becoming
curious about our bodily sensations, are helpful to anyone.

Sharon is a passionate advocate for Self Care-
everything you can do for yourself to move energy, ride your emotions, strengthen posture, enhance immune function,
strengthen and balance the spine, aid digestion, and turn imploded power into flexible boundaries, creativity and
joy. She offers an eclectic collection of exercises, sounds, and breaths from several traditions.
